Amplitude Modulation (AM)

A modulated waveform consists of a carrier waveform and a modulating waveform. An example of the AM waveform is shown in Figure 2- 14. In AM, the amplitude of the carrier is varied by the instantaneous voltage of the modulating waveform. The amount of amplitude modulation is called the modulation depth which refers to the portion of the amplitude range that will be used by the modulation.

To Select AM

The U2761A allows only one modulation mode at a time. The

U2761A does not allow modulation when sweep is enabled.
